A Quick Look - SS - Josh Morgan - Orange Lutheran (CA) HS

    
         Josh Morgan

7-24-13  -  Josh Morgan, ss, Orange County Lutheran, Corona, Calif./GBG Marucci - Morgan has a compact, strong and athletic build with physicality in his lower half at 6-foot, 185-pounds. With fluid actions, good lateral quickness and soft hands, Morgan has defensive chops. He has a quick transfer and average arm. More quick than fast, Morgan has average straight-line speed. Using a tall, narrow and slightly open stance, the UCLA commit has a long, aggressive stride. He has a quick, compact line-drive stroke and natural feel for the barrel. A member of GBG Marucci, Morgan has gap power and runs the bases well. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

8-31-13 – Area Code Games - Josh Morgan (SS) 6’0″ 185 (R/R); 2014 Strong, athletic frame. Contact/LD hitter w/quick bat; BA game power. Lives in middle of diamond and see better days ahead of him with the bat. Not a re-do, but needs to iron out the swing (must minimize leg kick and get front foot down earlier as game speeds up). Avg./fringy plus runner w/plus instincts on base paths; SB threat. Polished defender w/active lower half. Sure, soft hands w/good mobility and body control to throw on run. Enough arm to stay at SS; 55arm. Bat is suspect. http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/31/area-code-notes/

9-21-13 -The player who stood out for the Nighthawks was shortstop Josh Morgan. Morgan didn’t have a strong summer, but PG’s Todd Gold reported that Morgan had been playing very well recently. That was certainly the case Friday night, as Morgan looked lighter and much faster, both with the bat and with his straight line running speed. He had a few long battles at the plate with Vetrovec that could have gone either way.  http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9017

12-10-13 – TTF – Top 50 HS Players - 40. Josh Morgan, SS, Orange Lutheran HS (CA) - A quick-twitch athlete, Morgan is a 6′-0″, 185-pound right-hander with great actions at shortstop. he has worked extremely hard to remain at the premium position, including dropping 10 pounds to become more fluid in the field. He also gained more speed in doing so. At the plate, he makes consistent, hard contact to all fields. One of those kids who just gets better every time out. Committed to UCLA. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50/40532#zz88YJZTOG8iEa1Z.99
